Heââ¬â¢s one of basketballââ¬â¢s icons and now Michael Jordan could be set to break a different kind of record. The former NBA star has listed his Highland Park mansion for a cool $29 million, the most expensive property listing in Chicago.
The property is set to fetch a record price for a property in the area. As the Chicago Tribune notes, the previous most expensive sale was a $16 million Lake Bluff home in 2007. Keep reading to learn more about Jordanââ¬â¢s luxury home.
ââ¬ËOne of a kindââ¬â¢ property
Completed in 1995, the 56,000 square foot estate took two years to build and, according to the listing, was designed ââ¬Ëto Jordanââ¬â¢s exacting specifications.ââ¬â¢
The property boasts nine bedrooms and fifteen bathrooms across three levels as well as a three bedroom guesthouse. The complex also includes a pool area, outdoor tennis court, three climate controlled multi-car garages and a putting green.
Unsurprisingly, the property also includes a full size regulation basketball court with ââ¬Ëcompetition qualityââ¬â¢ lighting and a sound system.
Forbes reports that ââ¬Ëthe gated entrance is emblazoned in a giant number 23, the jersey number Jordan, famously wore during his first stretch with the Chicago Bulls before retiring for the first time in 1993.ââ¬â¢
Katherine Chez-Malkin of listing agents Baird & Warner Real Estate said: ââ¬ÅThe property is being marketed to individuals with an appreciation for its privacy, luxury and unique features. The fact that this is Michael Jordanââ¬â¢s home obviously makes it one-of-a-kind and very special.ââ¬Â
The 49 year old is in the process of building a new $12 million, 28,000 square foot estate in The Bearââ¬â¢s Club, a Jack Nicklaus designed golf community in Jupiter, Florida. Malkin adds: ââ¬ÅMichael has chosen to sell for a variety of personal reasons. Heââ¬â¢s building a new house in Florida and has decided it was time to downsize.ââ¬Â
